Destructive Gambling - December 25th 2002
 
A Gambling Society is a Crumbling Society
........Gambling is most likely at the top of the list for the worst activities that a society can have to self-destruct. When you can permit lotteries to take away hard earned money from people who cannot afford even to throw away a dollar, you will always make the society self-destruct. This author believes that even drugs do not reach such a highly destructive habit.
........It humiliates people and takes them away from all true values when it comes to the meaning of a good days work and the true sincerity to do a good job for the employer. It keeps the mind focused away from the moment and takes on an illusionary altered state of mind, which is the fundamental description of sin. We already can see that the job in government leads to mediocrity because government work does not bring the best out of the worker where obviously there is no incentive to work harder or look for any improvement but just to hang in there for the retirement which in many cases is truly underserving, and even a reason for inflation. As long as gambling rules the minds of people such as a big pot of 300 million dollars it leads to insanity as people begin to only think of "What if they did win this money" and "What would they do with it". When they then discover that they had not won, a depression sets in especially where their dollar spent had been hard to come by. The depression then leads to the cycle of anger which then leads to guilt and on and on it goes where this individual continues on again to gamble.
........Then the worst is yet while most people are guilt ridden in their life-style, if they did win they would most likely destroy themselves with the money and sometimes even lose it all. The liberal weak mind as seen everywhere in America today (2003) is that of a guilt complex full of excuses and the addictions which have overtaken them from music to food to gambling and to entertainment.
........Greed and power go hand in hand with money as it brings that false feeling of happiness which only provides a temporary feeling of security not happiness at all. It comes from how one had been conditioned as a child and in most cases in our modern socciety there is no true happiness because one must first reach the recognition and understanding of Creation and eliminate the ego needs to see that there is truly a difference. What happens in most cases people find their comfort zone and call this happiness and even the state og gambling seems to be happiness to those who do gamble even just a little only tyo make another excuse for it.
........Actually all forms of gambling add to the destructive nature of the addicted human entity. Even when an entrepreneur gambles in his business this too adds to the pressure of evil elements such as gambling itself. It is not easy to escape this very destructive habit and only conscious awareness prevents it becoming an emotional need. You can see how the corporate officials of Enron ended up destroying the company and even themselves at the end because of the heavy addiction to gambling which had led to greed and a power trip that eventually incarcerates. Books have been written about those who won lotteries and ruined their lives.
........Give a dysfunctional person power he can turn into a psychopath and if a leader of a country can end up like Adolph Hitler, Mussolini, Napoleon and even Bill Clinton, although the latter person had been controlled by a decent Constitution which he had tried many times to manipulate especially at the very end. A guilty society is unable to correct this kind of behavior because as you can see one cannot even correct one's own problems let alone that of the president one elects. Bill Clinton gambled in his own way but just got away with it because half the country identified with the same behavior pattern within their own particular comfort zone. If he had done the right thing, he would have made everyone (liberals) feel uncomfortable although here directing this only at those liberal guilty mind-sets.
